I'm not finding much about this.

So I'm not sure if this problem is the same, and if the cause is
known. Best I can suggest is to try a newer kernel. Even 4.4.0rc8 is
stable enough to try; but there were quite a few btrfs patches for
4.3.3 as well. I would try 4.4.0 first to see if it reproduces. If
not, then try 4.3.3.

>4.3.0-040300rc7-generic #201510260712 SMP Mon Oct 26
>11:27:59 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

I think the other two cases are x86-64 so I don't think i686 is related.

There are quite a few messages:
swapper/6: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x20
[1129393.648245] CPU: 6 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/6 Tainted: G        W  OE
  4.3.0-040300rc7-generic #201510260712

So the kernel is in a tainted state, I can't tell if that's related.

And also
usb 4-1.2: reset high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci

One happens less than a minute before the first btrfs call trace. I've
had these messages also with USB drives, and they usually don't cause
a problem, and in my research it seems they can usually be ignored
except when there's subsequent problems. I ended up getting a powered
hub to put all the USB drives on and now I don't get these messages
anymore (so far anyway) and I also haven't had any Btrfs errors, which
I did rarely have happen prior to moving to the USB 3 powered hub;
even though the power shouldn't have been a factor since the drives
want 900mA at most (usually just spinning up), and standard USB 3
supplies 900mA.

Anyway, easiest is to move to a newer kernel to try to reproduce and
then start looking at hardware issues. What specific drive is
/dev/sdd? I'd make a note of that particular drive and see if it's the
same drive (not drive letter) if the problem happens again.
